Growing Pains

I have so much to blog, I just don't know where to start. 

The problem with being away from blogging is that one loses the momentum to touch base with readers, and yes, much more, the blogger ME, in my case.

Being away from my old home, fingertalks.com, for the past months was so hard on my part. But due to the circumstances that were beyond my control, blogging had taken a back seat in my priorities.

I devoted much time to my fingertalks' blog - the old home of the talking fingers on the Web. For the past year, I exerted effort to blog almost on a daily basis. Its membership at MyBlogLog grew, and also at SpicyPage. Its page rank crawled from the low starting point of PR1 to PR3.  

When I finally got connected to the Internet in my new place in this part of the world, I was so enthusiastic to announce it to the world. I took everything so hastily. I was excited! But the excitement caught me off guard. In just a wrong click of the mouse, and the wrong stroke of my fingers on the keyboard, my beloved FINGERTALKS.com blog could no longer be accessed. 

GROWING PAINS…words I heard from spousy whenever I tell him of something that bothers me - like getting back the OLD FINGERTALKS blog.  

In a not-so-related note… 

Maintaining a blog somehow entails growing pains.  I have to maintain a deep connection with my blogging persona. I have to find the words that I'd want to be imprinted on the Web. I have to maintain its freshness by blogging on a regular basis. I have to be me when I blog so that people and readers could connect even to just a fragment of my life. 

It's like cultivating a relationship with others. It's like growing a flower in the garden. I should not left it unattended because it might slowly be forgotten. Just like in friendship where friends might vanish, or in the case of the garden, weeds might grow in between the plots. 

I am thankful for the very few people I have known online, but who remained there for me even when I was away…Thank you so much for your friendships.
